Rockstar is going absolutely insane with the level of detail in GTA VI.
The new Game Informer details reveal just how much work is going into Leonida.
>The wind system alone sounds wild: sea breezes, updrafts, buildings changing wind direction, and wind affecting hair, rooftop trash, water and swamp vegetation.
>Tropical storms and hurricanes will also hit the map, with heavy rain, lightning, thunder, strong winds and water running off buildings and streetlights. Weather can even be different across the map at the same time.
>The world itself is around twice the size of GTA V, but Rockstar is focusing heavily on density rather than just making the map bigger. Rooftops, alleys, interiors and the spaces between major locations are all being manually detailed.
>There are also 170+ animal species, including 60+ bird species and 30+ land mammals. Manatees, flamingos, pelicans and alligators are among those confirmed.
>NPCs are getting a huge visual upgrade too, with much more variation in height, body shape, muscle mass, weight distribution, skin details, tattoos, hairstyles and body hair.
>And there’s a ridiculous amount of stuff to actually do: fishing, bungee jumping, billiards, gyms, kayaking, mini-golf, diving, racing, zoos, airboat rides and jet skis.
>The RydeMe ridesharing app will let you travel around the city while chatting with passengers, listening to music and browsing social media.
>Rockstar is also recommending multiple playthroughs, with player decisions potentially changing how the story develops.
And yes, the classic BUSTED screen is coming back when either protagonist gets caught.
